there are two ballasts one per light and they effectively convert the voltage from 12v to however many hundred volts are needed to strike the HID and maintain the current and sh1t

well i only got one ballast on these 2003 model r32 headlights?

the right hand headlight (back of it) looks alot different from the left :S

do they both strike up? as they wont strike with out the ballast

i thought the bits on the back were the self levelling parts

which light is it that you've a problem with as i've got a spare drivers side
